The Soldier Shouted Save - Chapter 22

The soldier shouted save (22)
A request from a resident of Gerard, not a warrior like himself.
As Hye-rin looked down at the gold coins in my hand with a face full of caution, I heard someone’s voice.
“Sir, is this what you asked for?”
Eris’ voice calling out to the palace warrior Jang Jin-woo.
“This way.”
As Jang Jin-woo takes the opportunity to leave the church while we are not paying attention, Hye-rin follows him quickly.
“… … You said it was a request. What exactly did you mean?”
“There will be a fight. Just use one spell whenever I want.”
Hye-rin frowns at the words battle and magic.
“How do you know I’m a wizard?”
“That’s not what’s important. What’s important is whether you accept my request or not.”
I thrust a gold coin in front of Hye-rin’s eyes.
“1 gold coin as a deposit. I’ll give you 2 more gold coins when you complete the request. Do you want to take it?”
Hye-rin, who was glaring at me at my words, snatches a gold coin and speaks.
“Okay. I’ll accept your request.”
Didn’t you say that people on the Gerard Continent don’t trust you?
An expression full of distrust, contrary to the words of acceptance.
“How can I contact you after this?”
“I’ll come to you when you feel like it’s urgent.”
I smiled comfortably as if I was reassured by Hye-rin’s words.
“Thanks to you, I survived. Since you may not be familiar with our currency, I will tell you some precautions.”
He pours out his words to Hye-rin, who has her arms crossed and a blank expression on her face.
When exchanging gold coins, do not exchange them with street vendors.
The difference between a good inn and a bad inn.
When he tried to tell her where not to sleep out and how to distinguish between travelers and thieves, Hye-rin raised her hand and stopped him.
“Why on earth are you telling me this?”
“I just wanted to make a good impression and have the magic work properly. There’s no other reason for it. If the request fails, my little sister will die.”
“……yes?”
“If what I said bothered you, let’s meet during business hours.”
He turns away from Hye-rin and steps into the inn.
Then Hye-rin stops me and says.
“… … Are you stupid?”
“What does that mean?”
“Why on earth do you believe me when I say I’ll show up at a good time?”
“Wasn’t it possible for a wizard?”
“I cast a tracking spell on you? What did you do? If you fail, your sister will die, so why are you asking me to do such a haphazard job?”
Is it because the boiling anger is uncontrollable?
Hye-rin, with her face reddened and tears welling up in her eyes, speaks.
“Don’t be fooled by people like me. It’s annoying.”
It’s the same tone he uses towards himself, who has been deceived by Gerard and has been deceived again.
-Chal-grang.
Hye-rin throws a gold coin at my feet and turns her back as if she doesn’t need that kind of money.
I secretly let out a sly laugh and picked up the gold coin as I spoke.
“Even if you go, I would like you to take this gold coin.”
“……why?”
“That way, I can be honest with my little brother. I did my best to save you.”
He forcefully gives a gold coin to Hye-rin, who is laughing in vain as if she has lost her mind.
Then, Hye-rin became so angry that she couldn’t stand it anymore, so she looked up at the sky and blurted out, “Fuck.”
“Stop whining and take this! I’m giving it to you because I feel sorry for your little sister.”
A piece of parchment slightly larger than the palm of your hand.
Hye-rin, frowning, looks up at me and says.
“If you shout ‘Citus’ and tear it, I’ll come help you right away. … … You can give me the gold after the work is done or not… … .”
I was convinced when I saw Hye-rin return the gold coin.
An innocent person from another world.
No matter what advice I give, Hye-rin will live her whole life being scammed by the Gerard Continentals.
‘… … One is fine.’
He tells Hye-rin the exact details of his request and turns his back on Hye-rin as she walks away.
Now it’s time to think about the rest.
I returned to the church and repeated to Iris what I had said in my last life.
“If I proceed with the measurement, I will be able to deceive my sister’s talent. I will visit the inn as soon as I am ready.”
If Eris helps, Croa’s life can change.
As an apprentice priest, not a saint, I would be able to receive protection from the church.
But it was dangerous for Iris to come to the inn alone.
“If a church member comes to the inn, the heretics may take extreme action.”
“… … That’s right. But we can’t bring the church members until preparations are complete.”
If it weren’t for Iris, Croa might be found out to be a saint.
When I nod my head to show that I understand, Eris smiles and says,
“It’ll be okay. Allen and I can handle it, right?”
Eris seemed to recall the time when the two of us had joined forces to fight the necromancer, but there was a big difference between then and now.
‘Every time my body healed, I felt like I was going to throw up.’
A body that cannot accept divine power.
“Don’t worry. I’ll get ready as quickly as possible and go.”
Iris, unaware of this situation, smiled carefree and headed into the church.
‘I have no choice but to stop it alone.’
Turn around.
-Thump, thump.
On the way to the inn.
I take my ears off the sound of footsteps following me.
‘Not yet. You shouldn’t let your guard down.’
If you don’t create work, you can slow down their actions.
I opened the door to the inn, pretending not to notice the people following me.
“Welcome… … . Is it you?”
Blanc, who was about to give a strong greeting, lets out an awkward laugh.
I asked Blanc as I looked around the swanky interior of the inn.
“By any chance, have any mercenaries in black robes come to you?”
Blanc nods coolly.
“You came to see me a little while ago. I sent you upstairs. Why are you doing this?”
Men pretending to be customers, drinking alcohol and looking this way.
I said, shrugging my shoulders.
“I think he’s a mercenary I know. Was it the Black Wolf Group… or the Blue Wolf Group…?”
“Hahaha! You said you were a palace soldier, but you don’t know the ways of the world! Aren’t there mercenaries like that in every city?”
“… … That’s true. Anyway, if there’s anything I can help you with, just let me know. I’ll help you organize the serving.”
Innocently and without any sense of caution.
Just like an ordinary day.
I let Croa and Lian rest and volunteered to do the work in their place.
“Can you bring this up to the second floor?”
“Yes, can I just knock and leave it in front of the door?”
After helping out at the inn for over 30 minutes, I monitored their movements.
She arrived.
“Oh my, Priest. What’s wrong?”
A priestess of the Freya religion who focuses everyone’s attention.
“I know someone. Can I come in?”
As Eris spoke with a smile, Blanc winked at me hastily.
“Of course. Feel free to stay anywhere here.”
I stood up from the counter, unable to resist Blanc’s wink, and guided Eris up the stairs.
“Come this way.”
Naturally, he takes the lead and opens the door at the end of the hallway.
“… … .”
The younger siblings are waiting with nervous faces.
As I close the door, Eris’ expression changes and she grabs Croa’s arms.
“Sister. Did you hear what your brother said?”
“… … Yes. I was born with the divine power of a saint… … .”
“To appear normal, you must drain all the divine power within your body and cause magical exhaustion.”
“… … What should I do?”
Croa asks with a sad face.
“A person you like, someone who has been kind to you, your mom, dad, family, lover, anyone is fine.”
Eris smiled gently and placed Croa’s hands in a prayer position.
“I keep praying for that person to be happy. Can you do it?”
Croa nodded, clasped his hands together, and closed his eyes.
-Pfft!
The golden light filled the room.
However, from the center of the golden light, an unclean black light was flowing out.
“… …Allen, why.”
The unclean energy flowing out of my body as soon as I was blessed.
I frowned in nausea and muttered as I looked out the open window.
“… This much light will probably leak out the window. I guess I’d better close the curtains.”
“Oh, Allen! That’s not the point! Why is that happening in your body… .”
This life.
The carriage that was heading to a destination where both me and Croa could survive was diverted from its intended route.
‘again.’
I turned my back on my brothers and grabbed the dagger in my hand.
-Boom!
A dagger that pierces the chin.
– Died from his own attack. [Confirmed]
-Loaded from last save. [Confirm]
.
.
The darkened vision returns and a familiar voice is heard.
“Why are you stopping talking? I clearly said Save.”
In front of the church.
Lee Hye-rin in front of you.
“… … I’ll make a request.”
In the past when you return, you repeat the same words and actions.
“Sister. Did you hear what your brother said?”
“… … Yes. I was born with the divine power of a saint… … .”
And then, we arrive at the present where we have failed again.
“A person you like, someone who has been kind to you, your mom, dad, family, lover, anyone is fine.”
Eris, with a gentle smile, holds Croa’s hands in a prayer position and says.
“I hope that person will be happy and I will keep praying. Can you do it?”
Croa nods and glances at me.
I headed towards the door and said to Croa.
“I decided on Lian.”
“……yes?”
“I think there are people eavesdropping outside. Lady Eris, is it possible for the people here to do this?”
As I glance outside the door, clutching my sword, Eris nods with a serious expression.
“Don’t worry. I will take responsibility for your younger siblings.”
“That’s reassuring. Once you’re ready, please go straight to the church.”
I changed the subject and carefully grabbed the doorknob and prepared to leave.
Then, Croa, who had been looking at me anxiously, turned his gaze and glanced at Lian, then closed his eyes.
“Ugh, ahhh… … . T, what is this?”
The gold that surrounds Lian’s body.
I felt sick from the light and went straight out the door.
“… … .”
A quiet hallway.
Since it was a lie, of course no one was watching in the hallway.
‘Are you guarding the stairs?’
But, elsewhere, there were eyes watching this side.
Men linking arms on the stairs, pretending not to notice and chatting amongst themselves.
I passed the men and spoke to Blanc.
“Just a moment, I’ll be back later!”
Before even hearing Blanc’s answer, he heads to the basement stairs.
A warehouse where alcohol and food ingredients are stored.
But there is no back door leading outside.
-Thump, thump.
Someone who killed the sound follows me down into the basement.
‘One person.’
As I crouch down next to the stairs to the basement, a man looks around the dark interior.
“… … Damn, where did you go?”
Defenseless back view.
But I didn’t take out a sword that could cut off the man’s breath.
‘Guildstone. They were sharing their status with that.’
When they stabbed the man they were following, they realized that the man was in critical condition without checking the body.
‘It felt like the communication was one-sided.’
The only voice heard from the guild room was that of the palace warrior, Jang Jin-woo. He simply asked one-sidedly why his stamina was red.
‘But, if you don’t kill me!’
Jumps towards the back of a defenseless man.
I strangle a man’s neck with the robe he is wearing and the hood attached to it.
“Ugh, ugh!”
A man hanging like a cicada, unable to bear my weight and falling down.
I let go of the hand that was strangling my neck with all its might.
“Ke, k, k!”
She picked up the rolling bottle of alcohol and climbed onto the man’s chest.
“Drink.”
She grabs the man’s cheek with her left hand and shoves the bottle of alcohol into his mouth.
“Wow, wooooow!”
A man who cannot swallow alcohol properly and ends up spitting it out.
I put the bottle deep in my mouth and blocked the man’s nose with my hand.
“Gulp, gulp. Gulp… … . Pa, paa! Gasp… … Gasp… … .”
A man exhaling sharply only after downing an entire bottle of alcohol.
I held another bottle in my hand.
“Open your mouth.”
“Okay, let’s go… … woof!”
This is the third bottle of alcohol I’ve had.
“Pfft… … . Huh… … Ugh. Huh… Ugh.”
A man with blurry eyes and labored breathing, perhaps due to the effects of alcohol quickly taking effect.
I searched through the man’s arms and took out a triangular stone.
‘Here it is.’
Guildstones are their means of communication.
She wraps it in her clothes, puts it in her pocket, and takes the man’s black robe and puts it on.
‘… … Let’s go now.’
Black robe and mask.
They come out of the basement dressed like that.
“… … .”
“… … .”
The gaze of those guys focused on me.
As I sat down pretending not to notice, someone came up next to me and muttered quietly.
“Fix the status window to find out where Saint Oppa went.”
A word that is difficult to understand with my current knowledge.
As I sit there pretending not to hear, the man’s expression changes.
“… … You, aren’t Einhel?”
He was different from the palace warrior who seemed to have no interest in his subordinates.
A man who looked closely at my masked face and realized that I was not his colleague.
‘again.’
I took out my dagger and stabbed him under the chin.
– Died from his own attack. [Confirmed]
-Loaded from last save. [Confirm]
.
.
Repeat life without error.
“Okay, let’s go… Woof!”
The place where I need to correct my behavior is the basement where I gave alcohol to the man who was following me.
I held my breath, taking out the men’s guild stone from the basement.
―“Hey! What happened to the kid who followed the saintly brother?”
Jang Jin-woo’s voice heard from the guild stone.
―“Can’t you hear? No, why don’t you change the status screen? … … Oh. Are you listening? Einhell? That must be him. Check the status screen.”
If it says you’ve joined the ‘Imperial Palace’ guild like last time, it’s dangerous.
I was careful not to let my bare skin touch the guild stone and listened to Jang Jin-woo’s voice.
―“… … Drunk? Drunk? Hey! Follow him and see what he’s doing!”
-Knock, knock.
The sound of footsteps heading underground.
As we hide behind the hastily stacked oak barrels, we hear the voices of men coming down from the basement.
“… Ugh, the smell of alcohol.”
“Hey, Einhell. Einhell! Wake up!”
As the men shook their bodies violently, the man called Einhel opened his eyes slightly.
“What about Saint Oppa? Did he go out?”
“… … Ugh.”
“Hey you crazy guy, don’t you know the nature of warriors? Where did they go?”
Ainhel, his face flushed with intoxication, closes his eyes.
A bottle of liquor rolling on the floor and a person looking unconscious.
The men frowned and looked around.
“You go around from that side.”
An abnormal sight of drinking three bottles of alcohol in a short period of time.
As I held my breath watching the men inspect the basement, I heard someone’s voice overlap.
―“Everyone, take your seats. The priest is about to lead the saintess into the church.”
The men stopped walking at those words and headed back up the stairs.
“Damn it!”
The men kicked Einhel, who had no intention of moving, with all their might and headed to the first floor.
‘… … It’s finished up to here.’
After taking a deep breath, I take off the man’s robe.
The appearance of a group of men, wearing black robes and masks over their heads.
As I exited the basement in that state, I saw the figure of the palace warrior sitting with an annoyed expression on his face.
―“Before it gets noisy, kill the owner and the guests here first. I’ll deal with the priest when he and the saint come down the stairs.”
As the warrior sitting on the chair like a guest muttered to the guild master, one by one the men turned their hoods over.
Some are for guests staying on the 2nd and 3rd floors.
“Food is coming out now!”
Some head to the side of Blanc, who has finished preparing the meal, and the guests enjoying a drink.
“… … .”
The only way to stop the guys from targeting not only Croa but everyone in the inn.
―“Stop dawdling and move quickly. The person in position should change the status screen.”
I approached the palace warrior who was concentrating on the order, and drew my sword from inside his robe.
-Whoosh!
A pure white sword blade piercing through the robe.
“Ugh, ugh… … ugh, ugh.”
As the sword that pierced the warrior’s back protrudes out of his chest, the bodies of the people in the inn freeze.
“Hey, crazy, what the heck?”
“Whoa, whaaaaaaaaaah!”
“Everyone, get out!”
People running out of the hotel in panic.
“… … .”
Mixed in with the people, Iris and her siblings glance at me and leave the inn.
“… … What the, you fucking bastards are just standing there!”
As the palace warrior, who was holding the sword that pierced his chest with both hands, shouted, the men who belatedly came to their senses raised their swords outside of their robes.
-Whoosh!
A blade aimed at my body.
“Ugh, ugh!”
As the palace warrior pulled out the sword embedded in his body and rolled on the floor, someone raised his voice.
“Stop, Saint! Catch the Saint first!”
A palace warrior screaming while clutching his wounds.
At that voice, several guys try to run out of the inn.
I quickly ran out and blocked the inn door.
“… … What are you doing, kid?”
A mask and black robe covering the face.
In response to the palace warrior’s question, I took off my stuffy hood and said.
“An assassin sent from your ‘Imperial Palace’ guild.”
The palace warrior’s face distorts as he hears my words.
“… … Don’t be a jerk. You little bastard.”
At those words, he lowers his mask and smiles.
“Oh, you got caught?”
It was time to get that bastard out of my life.
